How to take user input from a GUI and place the data in an Array

Obviously I'm super new to Java and I'm sure this is a simple task but any input from you JAVA guru's would be greatly appreciated. I have a small program I am creating that calculates time by a pay rate using a gui interface I created with Netbeans. I need to take that user input and place it into a two-dimensional Array and then run a report. If there is more information needed please let me know and I will do my best to supply it. Thanks in advance.
